[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Hopeless (Song 2) - Persistence of Time (Demo/Ep. Self-Released/Dillinger’s Run, 2009)
Two months ago I recorded a few songs for the East Vancouver hardcore band, Persistence of Time, and just finished mixing them about a week ago. This song here isn’t actually called Hopeless as Isaiah hasn’t given it a title yet. I found it surprisingly depressing to be constantly working on songs that were untitled so I gave them names - Hopeless being the title I gave to Song 2, my favourite track of the bunch. Check out their Myspace to listen to some of the other songs I produced for them.

![Persistence of Time Session
Vocal tracks and parallel busses for Isaiah’s grimy ass. Went out of my way to make the vocals sound worse (but it’s a good thing when it’s hardcore). Oh, and yeah, I think I am done!
[UPDATE: No. I am not done with this yet. There goes my Past-Self again, doing things without thinking.]](http://20.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kstul5805R1qz9a1do1_500.png)

Extreme Metal Hunk: Brann Dailor (Mastodon, Today is the Day, Lethargy, Discordance Axis (live), Gaylord)
Hot Because: I hesitate to post this because I just noticed that a lot of my posts recently have been about Mastodon. Can you blame me? This was the picture to do it for me. Man does a suit well. He does many things, well. Say what you will about the choice of hunks within the metal world but there seems to be a consistency of extremely chill dudes. Brann is the type to air drum to Rush, listen to Stevie Wonder while drunk, and leaves prank answering machine messages. No one understands him! But I/YOU DO! Maybe…
Plus tour schedule is what, like, 300+ days for Mastodon right now? 300+ days of high intensity, sweaty drumming can do wonders for sustainability and dexterity (i.e. he’ll bone you really good like).
Ideal Date:
Watch this. Seriously, just do it.
Finished?
K. You’re the one holding the camera. He’ll eventually steal the camera away from you and the two of you will later be seen in a video leaked to the internet under the title of Banging the Not So Little Drummer Boy. You receive a healthy sum of money from a lawsuit against your roommate who posted it. But you don’t care about the money. You’re ashamed not of the video but for the loss of a private and beautiful moment you shared with this drummer from a metal band (who probably won’t even stop in your town on the next tour). A moment lost to internet perversion and so forth. A moment that was meant for you to watch whenever your felt like watching yourself fuck a drummer on digital video.
Deal Breaker: You can choose only ONE! I know this isn’t that big of a deal for some, to FORCE YOUR HEART TO DECIDE! I’d fuck it up. I know I would. I’m the type to kill both because I couldn’t stand to choose between them so I didn’t have to come face to face with my whirlwind of emotions that fails to subside no matter how many of my problems I kill fix it’s never enough!
Ok, now I’m happy again.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Autojector - Iron Lung (Sexless//No Sex. Prank Records, 2008)
I am hungova’r and I still need to start and finish my tech-culture column for the paper. Today belongs to Iron Lung because they gets me motivated to do things really fast and so far they seem to be the only thing I’m listening to this day (so far).
Heads Up: This week will suck. Trust me, I know these things.

Today, I had the boys of Persistence of Time in my basement finishing up vocal tracks. Tracking for the songs is done, now all that’s left is to mix it (well, all that’s left for me at least).

Isaiah Mapp. His lyrics yell murder by the shirt says too pretty to work.

Maryland Deathfest VIII Current Line-Up.
Wow. My dick’s brain just exploded.
Who wants to go to Maryland to get sonically skull fucked by the likes of GORGUTS! Gridlink! Fuck the Facts! Portal! Magrudergrind! CONVERGE! EyeHateGod! Autopsy! and Vancouver’s own MASSGRAVE! ?
Because I FUCKING DO!!!
3 Day passes are only 130 bucks (American, but that isn’t any skin off my back). I need to go to this eventually, if not this year and every year after. I routinely kick myself in uncomfortable ways for missing out on Brutal Truth, Pig Destroyer and Atheist at last year’s. So I owe it to myself to get on the ball for this one.

I spent the last two days recording overdubs for East Vancouver band Persistence of Time (and discovering photo-effects, apparently) in my basement. In this photo is the amp set up for the guitarist Giles (not pictured), who layed down guitar tracks masterfully yesterday.
I recorded bed tracks at my school, Harbourside IT, a little less than three weeks ago and we’ve finally found time to finish the rest of the project. There will be more days for overdubs; we’re not close to being finished recording the vocals (as the lyrics are not fully written), but at this point, as both a fan and a musician, I can now honestly say that these songs, musically, are the best the band have written thus far. I’m really excited to get this all together and mix the final product.

Isaiah Mapp of Persistence of Time laying down scratch vocals with “Old Photo Effect”. The photo also contains broken fan, acoustic guitar, disassembled drum kit covered in comics and a mattress propped in front of Isaiah to deaden reverberations (and it did a surprisingly good job at it).
The mic is an Audio-Technica 2050, however I will have to get him back in and overdub the tracks with the SM7 that I’ll be pooling all of my next paycheck into this coming weekend.
